low Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 410706

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- An issue was discovered in RDoc 6.3.3 through 6.6.2, as distributed in Ruby 3.x through 3.3.0. When
parsing .rdoc_options (used for configuration in RDoc) as a YAML file, object injection and resultant
remote code execution are possible because there are no restrictions on the classes that can be restored.
(When loading the documentation cache, object injection and resultant remote code execution are also
possible if there were a crafted cache.) The main fixed version is 6.6.3.1. For Ruby 3.0 users, a fixed
version is rdoc 6.3.4.1. For Ruby 3.1 users, a fixed version is rdoc 6.4.1.1. For Ruby 3.2 users, a fixed
version is rdoc 6.5.1.1. (CVE-2024-27281)
